Camp Bisco Announces Lineup and More

Camp Bisco has finally announced its 2015 lineup. After weeks of speculation as to weather the festival itself would even happen, after it was beset by problems getting approval to return to its traditional home ILCC in upstate New York; yesterday the festival announced for it’s 13th year it would return to Pennsylvania to the Montage Mountain waterpark in Scranton, PA.

The Disco Biscuits announced today the return of Camp Bisco this summer, and for the first time since 2002, it will be hosted in their home state of Pennsylvania. The 3-day music and arts festival will take place July 16-18 in Scranton, PA at The Pavilion at Montage Mountain & Montage Mountain Waterpark. The festival now boasts an atmosphere that features an outdoor water park beautifully situated alongside the serene mountains of Northeast PA – approximately 2 hours from Philadelphia and New York City.

We present to you the 2015 #CampBisco line-up! SHARE it with your friends and we’ll see you on July 16-18 at Montage Mountain. BISCO IS BACK! Tickets go on sale Friday at noon. More info at www.CampBisco.com

“We landed on Montage Mountain for Camp Bisco, and feel fortunate and blessed to have found such a perfect venue for our festival,” said The Disco Biscuits. “We personally helped curate the lineup for the 13th installment of our flagship event, which is as deep as ever and promises to be the best Camp Bisco yet.”

Early-bird tickets are only $135 (+fees) and go on sale this Friday, May 1 at Noon ET. Three-day GA tickets, Camping, VIP and Super VIP passes are also available. For tickets and other festival details, go to CampBisco.com.

Camp Bisco 2015 is being produced by Live Nation Philadelphia/New York in partnership with The Disco Biscuits, and in association with talent buyer Ben Baruch (11E1even Group, ThisSongIsSick).

“We’ve been working with The Disco Biscuits since their early days headlining the TLA, multiple New Year’s runs and Jam On The River, and are thrilled to be teaming up with them again this summer,” said Geoff Gordon, Live Nation Philadelphia Regional President. “We’re so proud to be a part of their marquee event and bring it to such a beautiful site like Montage Mountain.”

“I’ve long admired Camp Bisco largely because it’s the result of hard work and passion brought by my dear friends The Disco Biscuits,” said Jason Miller, President, Live Nation, New York. “But what it really represents to me is this unmistakable bond between the band, their fans, and all of our friends who’ve been coming along for the ride for 13 years now. “

“We are thrilled to be again partnering with Live Nation to bring another world-class event to NEPA. The water park and amphitheater of Montage Mountain are the perfect backdrop for a great festival experience,” said Charles Jefferson, one of the owners of Montage Mountain Resorts. “We’re looking forward to working closely with Live Nation to provide the best time ever for the Camp Bisco fans. See you on the mountain.”

“This is going to be an exciting summer on the mountain, said Susan Estler, Executive Director of Lackawanna County Visitors Bureau. With a jam-packed concert season featuring everyone from the world’s biggest country music stars to Peach Festival, and now Camp Bisco, we look forward to welcoming music fans from near and far and the positive economic impact it will have on Lackawanna County.“

Road to Camp Bisco

As many of you know we have in the past partnered with the festival and produced our “Road to Camp Bisco” series. At the bottom of this post are links to some of our more memorable Road to Camp Bisco posts from superfans, members of Orchard Lounge, Dopapod, The Indobox, SOLARiS and the founder of LostinSound.

In 2013 when the festival told fans that it would be taking a year off we were of course sad. But now we are looking forward to the festival coming back bigger and badder then ever.

[box]Camp and we look forward to doubling down on that after this year off. We are so thankful for all your rabid support, so please stay tuned, there will be some amazing announcements right around the corner.[/box]
